Topic: Underrated Sequels

What are some movie sequels that in your opinion get an undeserved bad rap and don't get enough credit or love? They don't have to be as good or better than the originals, just sequels you think get a bad rap they don't deserve. Some underrated sequels I love are:

Ghostbusters IIPredator 2Indiana Jones And The Temple Of DoomGremlins 2Die Hard 2Return Of The Jedi

^^^ Word.

Crabs -- er, I mean, VD -- I prefer Hostel 2 as well. Didn't like the first one at all and while I don't think the second one is GREAT, I do think it is a marked improvement. I especially liked the bidding sequence, which showed us the workings of the bidding-for-murder process.

Blair Witch Project I I. I liked that movie not like the original. Talk about boring. Could be mistaken but didn't the original start that type of paranormal activity style filming. Plus the stupid endings that leave you hanging. I hate them all.................sorry went off track. Big fan of the second movie wouldn't mind seeing a third or fourth.

Re: Underrated Sequels

Seems like if you didn't enjoy the original Blair Witch then there's a chance you could like the second. But to me, because I liked the first, I don't see anything of merit in the sequel. They're two completely different movies, only linked by name.

Re: Underrated Sequels

That's an interesting topic. A lot of people consider Cannibal Holocaust to be the first "Found Footage" movie. However, many others (like me) do not, as the actual found footage in that is not enough to make it a true Found Footage movie.

The Last Broadcast is generally considered the first Found Footage movie. Blair Witch was after that, and many people think Blair Witch was inspired by it. The "X" factor is The St. Francisville Experiment, which was actually made before Blair Witch, but released after it. So whether this was before Blair Witch is debatable.

I realize your question was probably rhetorical, but Found Footage is my favorite sub genre, and cuz it interests me I decided to respond.

I personaly prefer the first but enjoyed the story of the second a whole lot too. And man, NAKED KIM BIG BOOBS DIRECTOR, how could I not like. I love that in my DVD version they've put the whole soundtrack CD in, very sweet.

I'm gonna add Poltergeist III to this list. Going back to the first, I thought we all loved Return of the Jedi. Or am I missing some low ratings it's gotten? Well there areStar Wars haters. My sister's one of them.
